Dear diary, today I visited a cave populated by mushroom people whose literal only purpose of existence is to make me trip balls so hard that I can see and climb on platforms that don't even exist.



:shroom:



Also, attended a local poetry jam.


This game is a lot weirder but also kinda more impressive than I initially expected.

VA-11 Hall-A was a big fat nothing and I have no idea why anyone insisted it was good

Every character was written in the same voice and were all thinly veiled hot takes about such and such topics. It was completely exhausting! They weren't even bad takes I just didn't care!

Rumor is that one of the new DLC abilities is having a permanent robot companion that attacks stuff for you. I hope it is a super kawaii Watcher.

The platforming is a touch clunky and I've hit a bug or three, so if one lacks that old-school gaming patience the remake is maybe the one to go for when it comes out, but for a one-man project from years ago distributed for free it's real impressive. I figured it'd be a short silly platformer but it's actually a big-rear end game with a ton of detail, definitely a labor of love.

iOS App Store? I use Touch Arcade. If you log in, you can add games to a watch list and then it'll tell you when they go on sale etc.

It was better when the App version worked, but because Apple stopped approving alternate App Store interfaces, the app died when the 32 bit apocalypse happened.

Yeah, iOS. I don't know why they can't have a tab that's just "Here are games on sale this week", as opposed to needing 3rd parties to do it for them.

Okay I'll stop after this but I've got to say that this is pretty great



A robot boss who protects its giant weak point you need to hit with a force field.

How to get past it you ask?



Get high as gently caress on mushrooms and hallucinate that it's a giant crab monster instead. After all unlike robots, crabs don't have force fields.

You could also look at appshopper.com for sales on every app in the App store if you wanted.

The app store backend doesn't have the concept of "sales", when something is announced as "on sale" it means it's been manually changed to a different pricing tier and marketing rewrote the description to mention being on sale.

Is there a way to see a list of newly registered accounts? I imagine SA will see some sort of bump as NeoGAF users to migrating to a similar service.

Gonna be honest, I'm surprised that the owner of the site being accused of sexual assault was enough to cause NeoGaf to implode. I didn't think the average gamer cared enough about that for it to be such an issue.

This is the only forum I use and it's a billion times better than the old forums I used to frequent. I'm biased but I think SA Forums have a lot left to give to this world, a lot of jokes and camaraderie that's easy to downplay but is really very endearing.
